Ophthalmology Lecture Videos
Here are the first nine videos (I’m still working on the last cataract lecture). These videos correlate closely with the book chapters, and the full-motion video/animation segments should help clarify things!
These videos are streaming flash video from Vimeo (a website like youtube). Once the entire series is completed, I’ll likely reencode them and place them in the iTunes podcast directory for download and portable playback. One thing at a time, though.
I hope you enjoy these!
Video 1: History and Physical
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 18 minutes
An introduction to the eye exam, checking vision, pupil defects, and how to interpret the slit-lamp exam. The second half of this video has some great microscopy video-clips.
Video 2: Anatomy of the Eye
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 25 minutes
The eye is a complex structure, but this lecture makes it look simple! This video came out a little longer than expected, but it’s all high-yield with great video clips, color cartoons, and full-motion CT scans.
Video 3: Glaucoma
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 21 minutes
An important subspecialty, this video shows you the types of glaucoma, important slit-lamp/retinal findings, and the medical/surgical options for treating.
Video 4: Retina
Format: WMV, length: 16 minutes
The retina is normally a difficult subspecialty. In this video we cover anatomy, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, and macular degeneration – short and high-yield info!
Video 5: Infection
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 22 minutes
This video illustrates the important infections involving the eye: including conjunctivitis, blepharitis, HSV infection, pre-septal cellulitis, and endophthalmitis.
Video 6: Neuro-Ophthalmology Parts 1 and 2
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 25 minutes, 27 minutes
The neuro section can be confusing, so we’ve broken it into two seperate lectures. This first concentrates on eye muscles and cranial nerve palsies.
Video 7: Pediatric Ophthalmology
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 23 minutes
This video is loaded with great pediatric tips – checking vision, retinoscopy, prisms, amblyopia, leukocoria, and retinopathy of prematurity! Super high-yield!
Video 8: Eye Trauma
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 28 minutes
In this video I review a series of common ocular trauma seen in clinic and the emergency room. Lots of useful video and tips on treating these emergencies.
Video 9: Eye Optics
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 24 minutes
This lecture covers all the basic eye optics I wish I’d known when I started my training! All the basic concepts you need to write or analyze a glasses prescription.
Live Lectures
These lectures were given live before an actual audience. As such, they don’t follow the ophthobook quite as closely. On the other hand, these lectures are quite a bit funnier. Enjoy!
Super Eye Palsies
Format: Video stream, length: 29 minutes
A review of the extraocular muscles and the various cranial nerve palsies (3rd, 4th, and 6th nerves) that cause double vision.
Exploding Eye Lecture
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 28 minutes
Traumatic eye experiments (such as penetration testing with airsoft and paintball guns) used to understand eye injuries.
Comparative Eye Anatomy
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 22 minutes
Examination of the various eyes found in the animal kingdom, and what they can teach us about the human eye.
Slit Lamp Eye Exam
Format: Youtube stream, length: 24 minutes
Funny video review of the slit-lamp microscope and the components of the microscopic exam.
Pediatric Eye Exam
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 10 minutes
A short and humorous review of the child exam. This lecture is entirely full-motion video and covers vision testing, congenital glaucoma, and tips for looking at toddlers.
Tropias and Phorias
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 18 minutes
A simplified approach to eye-movement disorders. This animated lecture uses cartoon motions to demonstrate techniques like the cover-uncover test.
Loose-Lens Retinoscopy
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 24 minutes
This is the ultimate guide to retinoscopy for the newbie. While retinoscopy is the hardest skill to learn, these animations make it look easy!
Introduction to Cataracts
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 15 minutes
This short, concise lecture discusses cataracts, historical surgery advances, modern technique, and new implant options. Very interesting with many cartoon animations during the second half.
Cartoon Cataract Surgery
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 8 minutes
An animated and live-video guide to cataract surgery, with step-by-step instructions. Perfect for the student watching their first cataract surgeries.
Twenty Exam Tricks
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 15 minutes
This lecture was given at an ophthalmic tech conference, and covers eye “tricks” you can use for your difficult patient. Everything from optokinetic drums to pencil testing. Pretty funny, and a different style than the our other lectures.
Eye Trauma
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 24 minutes
In this lecture, I discuss eye trauma, kung-fu movies, and his elephant coffee. A humerous and video-intense approach to common eye injuries seen in the emergency room.
Optics Schmoptics
Format: Vimeo stream, length: 26 minutes
A review of optics basics. I discuss the pinhole eye in nature, diopters, Snell’s law, and other common focus problems in the clinic.
Outstanding, I just went through the 5 videos and I’d say I learned as much as I did in my 2 weeks in ophthalmology in my medical school.
Outstanding.
Looking forward to seeing the other 5 videos and downloading the flash cards.
outstanding,it was too usefull for me.
best regards
SO GOOD. I found these really really useful.
Thanks for sharing these excellent videos.
Thanx for gr8 videos,realy useful for undergraduates who hav less time but vast eye sylabus to cover.When the next 5 videos going to come?
you are sick
really thanks for sharing…
I loved them ,,, thank you very much…
Great work…solid foundation for further study. Thank you.
Hey awesome job on the videos. They are a very nice intro to ophtho for a medical student. Are you working on the remaining videos? Thanks.
Excellent videos! Very clear and easy to understand. Looking forward to the rest of the videos, thank you so much for sharing!
Very well done. I hope you still plan to publish the other 5 videos. Are you taking donations?
I’m in Ophtholmic assistant, and this video has
really explained a tremendouse amount of imformation to me Thanks.
Fantastic videos! And the book too!
Thanks for offering your time and hard work to help out so many medical students in need of a straight-forward explanation of ophthalmology. So glad I found your website!
Give yourself a big pat on the back!:) You deserve it.
awesome videos!…theres a mistake in the neuro part II video though. it says loss of parasympathetics (thus pupil constricts)…i think you mean thus pupil dilates
This is fantastic. thanks for sharing this.
What are your terms of use for these videos? May we incorporate them into elearning programs or live sessions with proper attribution to you? Thanks!
Hello Tim your Web is very funny and entertainment
Javier Torres Pediatric Ophthalmology
Sevilla.Spain
Simply awesome… Thank you!!
thanks, that was just awesome !!! i learned while watching one video, more than i did during two weeks in the ophtalmology department. keep going and thanks again
When will you cover Cataract, Errors of Refraction, Iridocyclitis, and Endophthalmitis?
Editors Note: I’m making the videos in order of the book chapters. Trauma will be next, followed by optics (refraction), then finally cataract. The book doesn’t cover iridocyclitis (except a brief mention in the trauma chapter). Endophthalmitis was briefly discussed in the infection chapter/video. Thanks for the interest!
Thank you for having these available, I wish I could get them for every specialty! It’s made my ophthal revision so much easier.
Keep dropping it like its hot. Great videos.
thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
why cant they all teach things like you…..,if only the rest of medicine was thought this way! thanks
Dear Tim

I like the way it’s explained. It’s amazing to see how things can be easily understood with simple explanations.
Thank you so much.
Dr. Root, I was at JOMA today and really appreciate the videos and cartoons you have put together. It’s a great help for techs to be able to put a real picture and even better video with the names we hear about all the time!
The retinoscopy video is great! PLEASE PLEASE do one for a complete retinoscopy with jackson cross and cyl!! Retinoscopy has been my nightmare and would love to refine my skill. I’ve watched MANY videos and demonstrations and none did as well of a job as you did on the basics of retinoscopy! Thanks again! This is a great site!!!

Millions of thanks from Malaysia.

Can’t wait for more video clips from your site.
Thank you
Wicked videos! I love the way that complex methods seems so simple when you go through them. Would love to see a video on volk lenses techniques.
Awesome website that I have been using during my Emegency Medicine Residency. Is there a video of how to properly Algerbrush a metallic foreign body out of someone’s eye? I hate leaving a divot in the cornea but not sure how deep to go.
These vidios are wonderfull. Not only for Developed countries but also for those people of backward countries who wish to learn and have enough resources but country- wide there is no opportunity to get education about optometry. I am thank full to the whole organization who is involved in this activity. Specially, the tutre and his style of teaching is outstanding.

I want to say that I have always been interested in optometry and I love listening to your podcasts when I am doing my workouts. You provide great information in a fun way!

thank u very much i wish i will be as good as you one day
Thank you so much for these outstanding videos! They were the key for integrating my readings. You explain it in such an easy way that when you think about it you ask yourself: “Why hadn’t i taken THAT in consideration before!!??”. It takes A LOT of expertise to explain difficult subjects so easily.
Greetings from Mexico!
Thankyou Dr Root, Ophthalmology had always been my weakness…going through videos is getting me some good understanding of it….Thanks for sharing them so freely..God bless you…keep up the great work…

Wow. Great job. I’m writing my Ophthalmology UG exam in about a month. I hope more of these videos are up by then.
They’re about the most helpful thing I’ve come across on the net related to Ophthal. Thanks a million.
If I may…adding a video of minor surgery done in the office would be helpful as well, along with showing different instruments used with them. Thanks for the other videos.
Thank you for your videos and the website.

amazing videos
Outstanding, Dr. Root.
You are an awesome teacher: always interesting, always informative!
Thank you so much!
You are the best teacher !!!
Excellent videos. Very precise information. Eager to see more of your new videos.
Hello-I am optometry student.very thanks for videos.please give new videos.
Awesome! I am about to have my final exams here in Germany, and my forth subject is ophthalmology. I have never understood this particular subject, until I discovered the videos here!
Thanks! Thanks! And thanks again! You have a clear didactic talent. I will but the book once I have money on my account again 😉
Thank you. I have a clinical exam i ophtalmology tomorrow, as part of the medical study. It’s nice to get the most important things summarized in a pedagogical and efficient way. Best regards!
Hi, Thank you so much, for your great explanation of neuroophtholmology topic. I’m a student of psychology and I’m doing research on Pupillary Light Reflex. These videos really helped and you have a great sense of humor too.
I cant believe how much easier my ophthalmology rotation has become because of you! Thank you! 🙂
I come back to these videos everytime i want a quick review..
Outstanding videos especially TROPIAS AND PHORIAS and RETINOSCOPY…you hve made them easy and fun! but i love them all..and the “crappacino” joke — will never forget it!!
These lectures and the book chapters are amazing! Thank you!
MS3 here, planning to apply ophtho a year from now. I’ve used your book and the online videos to get a good basic intro to the field. I LOVE THEM. Thank you so much, Dr. Root!
Thanks from India !!!
Awesome work buddy…:)
good lesson – great lesson
i love it
Thanks for sharing these excellent videos.
Watched some of your videos, helped a lot in getting the basic concept! Thanks for that. Can you add something on the basic theory and pathology following topics:
Uveal Tract, Sclera, Eyelids, and Conjunctiva?
Also, can there be a video on detailed examination procedure of the eye? I couldn’t find that.
@ iGuy: You can find most of these topics spread throughout the book chapters and videos. As for a detailed examination procedure for the eye, I would watch my slit-lamp exam video and listen to this hour-long audio lecture over at eyetalkradio: Intro to the Eye Exam.
you are the best ..
thanks alot from Palestine 🙂
God bless you doctor.
Regards from Dubai
Thanks from Egypt for your great efforts

I am just wondering if my podcast is broken because there are no new podcasts since February 2013… It would be great to see some of your other online lectures on the podcast so that I can listen to them while driving and not have to worry about using data on my iPhone. Thank you so much!
-AP
Amanda, the video podcast isn’t broken … I just haven’t updated it in a while. I’ve done few lectures this year as I was finishing another book (rooteyedictionary.com).
Thanks! 🙂

Can you add something on the basic theory and pathology following topics:
Uveal Tract, Sclera, Eyelids, and Conjunctiva?

Hi Tim
Thank you for the great videos! I would like to download them to use as a teaching tool for our undergraduate students. Is there a repository for high resolution videos? Our internet here is too slow to stream the videos.
Regards from South Africa
Thanks a lot for all the hours spent in these videos and especially, thanks a lot for keeping them freely available for everybody.
Cheers from Spain 🙂
Thanks from Egypt wish you the best
Learning Tropia and Phoria was quite a task. And then all of a sudden,i happen to stumble upon your website! And it all went easy peasy. I am a final prf med student and i am referring your website to all my frns :))
Keep spicing all that knowledge with humor 😉
one of the best simple educational videos about ophthalmology that is student & patient oriented.thank you very much sir for this beautiful book
Awesome videos – for someone who never can pay attention and can’t find use from videos, this was quite the opposite experience 🙂
Dr. Root I can’t thank you enough for taking the time and effort to make these videos and chapters. They are truly a lifesaver – you really what a student needs to learn and understand these concepts. So much better than being thrown into the open water and ultimately better for my future patients. Thanks a gazillion again!!!
Thank you very much for your excellent videos and textbook. You’ve certainly helped us to learn ophthalmology!
Currently in an NP program, and I can not tell you how much these videos have helped me! Thank you!!!!!
Oh my God, what a great work!! I ‘ve never a medical topic simplified that way with an informative, comprehensive, fun, and tasty way.
Man, you made me think of opthalmology as a sub- specialty.
Thank you for every effort you have put to make this project available to help the medical students, or even seniors.
Love you!
Boss. Have you finished from Cataract lecture? Still waiting in here
